Africa?? Oh..black people and wild animals right?

I fully support the peaceful protests in Iran, for them to be allowed to be free. But I'm getting a bit upset about all the people 'supporting' Iran too. I'm just thinking, what about everything else that's going on? What about the conflict in Sudan, which might cause another civil war very soon? Or the fact that 26.000 people have fled their homes in Mogadishu in the last 4 days, all together about 159.000 people leaving their homes in fear in Somalia? Do we not care about this anymore? These are people too. Human beeings, with the same rights as everyone else. But no one seems to care. "ohh yes..Africa..they've got lions and elephants! And all the people are black and they live in mud huts and dance around". This seems to be the picture people have of Africa, which by the way, is NOT a country.
So why should we care about people starving to death? Dying of diseases that could easily have been prevented or treated if they had the right medicine? Girls and women that get raped? Even babies that get raped? People killed in conflicts and war? It's like people think Africa is somewhere on another planet....

Protests in Iran

I've been paying attention to the protests and what's going on in Iran for the last week or so. I'm 110% support the people protesting that wants a FREE IRAN! Free from the Islamic regime. They want a new government, no religious involvement with it, they want freedom of religion, freedom of speech. The protesters have so far been doing peaceful demonstrations, even silent ones. Also demonstrations in memory of those killed.
But now it seems to be getting more violent from the protestors side? Not only the police, or maybe more the basiji?
I've been watching #iranelection on twitter, and more and more people seem to be encouragin the protestors to violence. They even post bomb recipes! What is this all about???
Now the world is waking up, leaders of many European countries have stood up and said they do not accept the violence used by the Iran government to "control" the demonstrations. And this they have done, because the demonstrations have been peaceful. However, if the protestors turn violent against the police, start attacking them, the police would have the right to fight back. Then the rest of the world would have nothing to say about the Islamic Regime in Iran. The governent would just be doing their job, fighting back and arresting violent people.
We must not let it come to this!

I hope for the sake of all Iranians that demonstrations keep on, but in peace. Go to demonstrations with roses, not weapons. Do not let them have a reason for the world to see, to do what they are doing now! Never start a fight, don't continue one if someone else is starting it. And make sure you are as safe as possible. Protect yourself from tear gas etc. Read up on ways of treatment for yourself, and first aid to help others in need.

Stay strong, for a FREE Iran!

Giving this another go!! haha..

Oh my...I don't know if I'll ever actually manage to keep a blog! SO much has happened since last time..The worst is that I have actually moved back to Norway, which I hate...I can't stand living here, seriously...I just wanna get away!
So I'm now considering either work & travel, or starting Africa studies in August. What do you think? Part of me is so impatiant I can't wait to go back to study, but another part just wanna relax, travel, see the world..there is plenty of time for studying later on, right? And I don't even know what I really wanna do with my life..I'll have to wait and see I suppose...Still sick, struggeling with eating disorders and depressions, but kinda getting some help now, although I don't agree with the doctor just yet, but I guess I'll see if that works out too. Have to make the decision about travelling or studying before the next time I see the doctor tho, so if ANYONE has any suggestions I'll be more than happy to hear them! Have about a month to decide I think....Is it possible to hire someone to make these decisions for me?
I did love Thailand..was in Phuket for 2 weeks. Way,way to touristy for me really, but got a taste of the country and the culture. I definantly want to go back, and to see all of South East Asia. 4-5 months travelling by myself sounds so amazing! Just need to save up money first. And South-America too..and Australia, New Zealand..the entire world! Let's win the lottery huh?? heheh..

But one good thing! I'm moving in to my own flat July 1st! Just a small studio flat, but it's ALL MINE! Can't wait! Wish it was in London, but maybe some day I will be rich and able to live in my own flat in London.. haha..
